IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'README.md'

Question

When I try to install omniture using pip I receive the following error:

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'README.md'

I am basically trying to connect to the Adobe Analytics API. Can someone help me?

Thanks

You need to provide more context for your question. [How to ask a good question?](http://stackoverflow.com/help/how-to-ask) is a good resource. As such, all we can tell is that the file README.md doesn't exist where you're trying to access it. — Horia Coman, Jan 17 '17 at 11:24
On installing through git link it throws error: could not create '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/omniture': Permission denied and if you go to setup.py file you will find long_description=open('README.md').read() and README.md is available there – — Shivkumar kondi, Jan 17 '17 at 11:34

omniture module on PyPi is missing the README.md file, hence the IOError you get.

If you want to install this module, install it through its github repo as below:

pip install git+git://github.com/stdbrouw/python-omniture.git

For more information check its GitHub link

It is because you do not have permissions on your system to create this directory. If you are on Linux call it as sudo: `sudo pip install git+git://github.com/stdbrouw/python-omniture.git`. In Windows execute it as Admin. – afxentios Jan 17 '17 at 11:34

I realize this is a 2 year old comment, but I feel it should be said here for anyone who runs across this that running pip as sudo is generally a very bad idea. See [this question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15028648/is-it-acceptable-and-safe-to-run-pip-install-under-sudo). – senox13 May 20 '19 at 04:18

I had this problem once with a README.adoc, and I solved it by adding README.adoc to the MANIFEST.in file and republishing my package.
